Cook mixture on low medium heat without lumpy.

Add almond flour and mix well. Cook mixture on low medium heat stirring continuously until mixture becomes lumpy like soft dough.
This should take about 12-15 minutes. until it is consistency of soft dough. Turn off the heat.
Transfer the almond khoya into a bowl and let it cool off.
Divide the mix into 20 equal parts or more, less depends the size you prefer. Make them into ball rolling between your palms. Make a dent into the peda.
Garnish them with pistachios.
Finish peda consistency should be little grainy.
Serve Almond peda
Notes
If peda mix is too dry add lukewarm cream as needed.
If peda mix is too soft add little almond powder. Do not try to cook again thinking it will become thick, peda will become chewy.
